Russian Snread-Eagleism.

When we talk OF "spread -eagleism"
We are generally thinking OF the Unit
ell States, but the real spread-eagle-
ism is that not of the American repub-
lie but OF the Russian empire. The
Russians habittIally talk of the time
when they will ft,m8Sters of the whole
world, and if-inStead of writing of the
facts of our tine-l were tempted to
propheSy conceG.ing the next century
| should have to admit that, If we ex-
clude America and Australia and con-
fine our thoughts to the old world
alone, it is a. least conceivable that
their dreams should one day come
true. The only foreigner who'is known
to the Russian peasantry Is the Ger
man, and the name for German and
for foreigner with the peas ant is the
same, and the hatred of the dumb
men," as they call their German neigh
bo-s, is intense. Thepeasantry know
little of the English, and if you listen
to their sentiments you discover that
j. is ther belief that one day there
will be between them and Germany
u war compared with which, their SOL
diers say, that OF 1870 was child's
play, and that if Germany WINS this
will not be the end, but war after war
will follow until Germany is destroyed.
This feeling is TO some extent held in
check by the Russian COURT although
one day they may take it flp and use
it; but court dislikes are turned for
the present less toward Germany than
toward Austria.-The Fortnightly Re-
view.

A Doctors Bill In Brazil.

Brazilian doctors are as eccentric In
their charges as the people are in their de-
sire to enjoy the pleasure OF being let alone,
The physicians do not regulate their
charges by the time and labor they have
expended in the patients service, but by
the estimate value OF his life.
As this valne is determined by the
patients income, he II he survives. is
treated by the doctor as wreckers treat a
stranded ship-the greater the value, the
larger the charge.
Ayoung English engineer, while engaged
in some work in the vicinity Of Rio. was
attacked by yellow fever. A doctor OF
good reputs attended him, and on his re.
covery demended a fee OF $500.
The young engineer demonstrated and
threatened to appeal to the courts. But
friends who had resorted to these tribunals
for redress advised him to have nothing to
DO with the law. He acted upon their
counsel and paid the doctors bill.-Youth' IS

His Grace OF SUTHERLAND Comes
Across a FIoridian Who Is as

As they drove slowly along the
sandy road the driver waxed comma

in a dignifed way, showing by neither
glance nor word that he thought HIM
too familiar upon short acquaintance,
even when the large Sunbrowned hand
was laid patronizlngly upon his shout
der, or he was tapped Familiarity on
the back or punched in the ribs to
have his august attention directed to
some trivial circumstance.
At length halt was called and the
party refreshed the inner man with
wine. The Dukes light flannel coat
became caught over the ivory handle
of dagger worn in the pistol pocket
OF his breeches.
Hold on, Capt. Duke" called the
driver, your coat is caught in your
breeches, let me takeit out" and John
drew down the offending garment and
fell to work vigorously busting, Capt.
Duke, remarking that he was Enough

Upon Jehu's return to Manatee,

THE rorya WIDOW.

She 10 modest, but not bashful-
Free ard easy, but not bold;
Like al apple, ripe and mellow
Not too young and not too old;
Hali-inyiting, half-repulsing
Now advancing, and now shy
There is mischief in her dimple.
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
As the mistr OF all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Oh, q maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all the while.
Are you sad? How very serious
Will her handsome face become,
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthiul? How her laughter
Understanding, will ring out!
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS an angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors OF forty,
Who ha, grown so bold and wise =
Young Americans OF twenty,
With the love.looks in your eyes
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But | know a little widow
Who can win and fool you all.

Trade Review.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-R. G. Dun & Co. in
their weekly review of trade say: Com
merce and industry have improved, while
speculation has slackened. A very differ
ent result was expected when it was an
nOunced week ago that a syndicate had
undertaken to raise $1O,OOO,OOO for the Bal
timOre & Ohio and to establish harmony
between the trunk lines. At first
stocks rose quickly an average of 81 per
share, but soon it was seen that the borrow
ing Of millions by the great company did
not necessarily mean or bring prosperity.
Heavy declines in the Baltimore & Ohio
and other stocks affected by the Ives fail
ure followed and a gradual reaction toward
lower prices and speculative inactivity has
continued this week. On the other hand
evidence appears of decided improvement
in legitimate business with larger sales,
larger production and more wholesome
feeling, even in branches lately mostly de-
pressed. The improvement in the wooden
goods trade is clearly marked, though that
trades cannot be called active. Lower
prices for wool encourages manufacturers
and the demand for goods is broadening.
The distribution of cOttons continues large
with special demand for the best quail

Mr.. New, of Indianapolis, in the inter-

presidential hackers have on several pre-

Clay and Webster, who were during life
just beyond the grasp of the coveted
honor. The Chicago Herald notes the
parallel between the political fortunes of
Clay and Blaine as follows: "Each
served as speaker, as senator, as secre-
tary of state; both were defeated candi-
dates for party nomination; each, how
ever, was finally presented as presiden-
tial candidate and both were beaten at
the polls. After the election of 1884

4 ACCORDING to the Bottineau Free
Lance, the site of the cavalry encamp-

perfect. The Free Lance says: 'sThe
site is one Of the prettiest in this coun-
try. It is on the homestead of Judge
Thompson, at the old townste, where the
clear, limpid ana frigid waters of Oak
creek trickle and glance, and all that
sort Of thing, among the boulders. Its
sanitary advantages can't be beat, and it
is easy of access from all parts of the
county. Good water-the great draw
back-is to be had in unlimited quanti-
ties, and it is near enough to the noun
tain for all necessary target practice.

desired, and the field for skirmishers is
only limited by the Rocky mountains" !"

Tyner in honor of the adjutant general.

elected. Had it not been for an event
which, like the war Of 1912, changed the
direction Of public thought and brought
new men into sudden conspicuity and
popularity, Clay, who remained in public
life until the last, might finally have at.
tanned the presidency. No striking
events have changed popular currents
since 1884. No Zachary Taylor fresh from
the theatre Of a successful war lies in the
path Of the later Clay. No new man in

Blaine. He is easily in the front. Another
nomination is within his grasp. Ten
